Verified Answer :

Yorktown’s location on a peninsula

Answer:

The correct answer is "Yorktown’s location on a peninsula".

Explanation:

On 1781, as part of the American Revolution, General George Washington commanded a force of 17,000 French and Continental troops at Yorktown, in what is known as the Battle of Yorktown. The siege that George Washington achieved was achieved greatly because of Yorktown's location on a peninsula, because most of  Washington's forces entered by ships and flotillas.
